Sir Charles Addis, in a very in nativ, address to the Institute of Bankers, on April 3. on

the

Bank

for International Settle ments, touched upon the relation- ship between gold and prices.

"The appreciation of gold or, what was the same thing, the down ward trend of prices had," he said become a serious menace, and if allowed to go on unhindered must inevitably check enterprise and re- tard economie recovery. It

was not the low level but the per sistent fall that was crippling in- dustry and taking the heart out of the business pioneer. During the last five years prices had fallen by 24 per cent, and there was as yet little sign of n check to the fall."

While admitting that several agencies had been at work, Sir Charles conveyed the impression (Continued on next Column)

of City Notes, in the Times, Jeft The address, observes the writer the impression upon his hearers that Sir Charles hopes that central banking co-operation on the scale contemplated in the formation of the Bank for International Settle ments should consciously attempt to adjust the supply of monetary gold to the demand in such a way as to maintain the commodity value of gold. Sir Charles made it clear that he believes that the world is suffering from powerful doses of deflation and that a moderate dos of temporary inflation will not do any harm.
